Patented Sept. 6, 1910.

To all whom if may concern:

Be it known that we, ELI Seann, WiLLIAM GOLD, and 'JOSEPH STRETCH, citizens of the United States, and residents of New York city, county and State of New York, Woodhaven, Queens county, New York, and Free ort, Nassau county, N ew York. respectively, iiave invented certain new and useful Improvements in Monolithio Constructions, of which the following is a' specification.

The object of our invention is to provide an improved construction of monolithic wall, partitionfor the like, wherein studs are used for building up and strengthening the wall, and the concrete filled into the space between the studs is united through the studs, whereby a continuous concrete wall is provided in which the studs are embedded.

Another object is to provide improved means for applying the oraminous material of the walls, such as wire netting, expanded metal and the like, wherebyA an air space is provided at the side of the concrete portion of the wall.

Qur invention comprises the novel arrangements oi parts more fully hereinafter set forth :and then pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to'be had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein,

Figure l is a perspective view of a portion of a wall or partition embodying our invert tion; Fig. 2 is a partial plan view thereof; Fig. 3 is a. ,detail perspective view of a modi- Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views.

In the drawings the numeral 1 indicates studs which are set on end and spaced apa-rt to receive concrete between them. The studs are provided with openings through them whereby the concrete 2 passes through the studs and is thus united in monolithic 'orm substantially throughout. In Figs. l and 2 the studs are shown of channel irons secured together, and the openings 1* are provided by pressing out the material 1b of the studs in opposite directions, become embedded in the concrete. Along corresponding edges of studs 1 foraminous material, such as metal lath, expanded metal or the like 3, is secured by, any suitable means, such as by tongues 4 stamped out of ythe metal of the studs and passed through the netting. In said figures the inner foruminous material of double layers 5, ,'5, is

forming wings which formsan 'air space 6, the concrete 2 being filled in between the oraminous material 3 placed between the corresponding studs and and 5. 4In this construction we form the double walls 5, 5 by means of box-like meinoers suitably made as of netting expanded metal, or the like, and tit them one upon the other inthe space between the studs. This forms a cheap and convenient means of producing the air space 6', as the box-like f0- raminous members may be placed in position successively one upon the other as thework of illi'ng in the concrete progresses. U on the exterior of the wall 5 thus formed 1s a finishinoq layer of plaster, concrete or the like, indicated at 7, which adheres to the outer oraminous wall portion 5a and also incloses the outer edges ofthe studs l.. To provide a continuousair space throughout the length of the'wall the studshave o enings at 8 in line with the box-like .inem ers of, oraminous material, whereby the air may circulate through the studs in the spaces 6, thereby making said space continuous from stud to stud.

In Figs. 3 and 4 the studs i are built up as follows: Channel irons@ are secured 'together and braces l0 are secured between the channel irons 9, and at the oppositeends said braces are secured to `,fI'-irons1l. To the edges of the irons 9 sheets of foraininous material 5, 5a are secured, or oraminous box` members as in Fig. l may be placed in position .between the parts 9. IThe arts 9 are shown provided with openin St ough which openings air may circu ate for lthe space 6, as described with respect to Figs. 1

and 2. The itoraminous material 3 is also secured tothe outer surface of the irons 11 of studs 1,- as by the tongues 4. Upon the outer surface o the material 3 a iinishin layer 12 may be applied in accordance Wit the structures shown in the various li ures,

.and as illustrated in Fig. 4,'which wi aflhere to material 3 and to the concrete 2, and on the outer surface of netting 5* in Figs. 3 and 4, a finishing layer 7 is apphed. The

air space 6 is thus formed between the concrete 2 and the layer 7.

Changes may be made in the of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of our invention.

' Having now described our invention what we claim is: i l

arrangements shown and described within the scope 1. The combination of a plurality of studs s aced apart to form a skeleton of a, wall,

4oraminous material'secured to said studs, box-like members formed of foraminous material :interposed between the studs and superim osed, the rst named foraminous materia being spaced away from the boxy'space between the irs't mentioned forami` like members, fireproof material filled in the nous material and said members andenterin the interstices of said materiaL'and a tica'll l vide mshing later applied upon theexteriory of the first' named foraminous material and' upon the exterior of said members providing an air space atA one side-.of said reproo material.

2. The combination of a dis sed studs's ace wit openings,

plurality ofk verapart and proapart providing spaces between the studs communicatin through the openings studs, reproo materlal filled in sald s aces and passing in monolithic form throng the openings entering eets of foraminous` vmaterial attachedto said studs and spaced y inthe l in and embedding thevstuds, and the interstices of said foramnous v t seams material, foraminous material at ai distance from one of the first named sheets of foi-aminous material providing an ai'r space vai'. the

side of said reproof material, and a finishing layer on the second named foraminous materlal.
